Local Restaurant Offer Their Best Bites
Let's face it the only thing better about this fundraising event than knowing you are supporting the good work of the LUM Immigration Clinic is the FOOD! Port of Hope will feature some of the "best bites" from local favorites like Maggie's Kitchen (Africa), Che Chori (Argentina), Lafayette Brewing Co. (USA), Lindo Mexico (Mexico), and sweets from Insomnia Cookies!

The event also includes Marketplace items for "foodies" to bid on like gift baskets featuring food items from Spain, Italy and Argentina; gift cards from The Whittaker Inn, Crabby Mike's BBQ, Bru Burger Bar, Sam's Club and Target; and cooking classes.

Buy your Port of Hope tickets for the cause, but attend for the tasty food — and the good company, unique Marketplace items and lively entertainment. There is limited space at the Port of Hope event; so, get your tickets today. Must be at least 21 to attend.
